When dawn came, Hao Ren opened his eyes and stretched his arms.
As crackling sounds resonated in the cave, the silent dragon core began to spin abruptly.
The nature essence accumulated in one night was suddenly released from the spinning dragon core, and it unlocked two openings!
With a long howl, Hao Ren stood up feeling like his body was a battery that was fully recharged; each of his pores was soaked in abundant nature essence!
It took him only one night to unlock two openings. At this rate, he could unlock 15 openings in one week and about 60 openings in one month!
The speed was almost doubled!
He would reach Gen-level if he unlocked 120 dragon openings, and it meant that he would potentially reach the next realm before the exams in the Dragon God Shrine!
With the cultivation strength of the Gen Level, he would be able to control and use the level 3 sword array: Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation
To unleash the power of the Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation, one must understand ‘the union of heaven, earth, and human’ before being able to build the comprehensive array formation which could create 320 sword energies; it was an overwhelming sensation.
If the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll didn’t require the practitioner to cultivate all five elements, he wouldn’t be able to store so much nature essence in his body and obtain such a solid foundation.
Three hundred twenty sword energies were divided into five groups based on their elemental attribute, so each elemental group had 64 sword energies. It was not difficult for a Gen-level cultivator to control 64 sword energies at the same time.
However, only through the simultaneous cultivation of five elements could one possess such broad meridians in which allowed the five elemental essences to travel together as if they were on a highway with five lanes.
Although the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll progressed slowly, it had five times the power compared with other cultivators on the same level.
Together with the power of the sword array formations, Hao Ren could defeat six to eight same realm cultivators altogether. That was why Wang Hui was defeated by Hao Ren’s One-line Snake Sword Array Formation instantly.
Of course, the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll had a slow cultivation process on land and in the deep sea.
Although the dragon cultivators had the aid of the dragon cores, they lived below First Heaven which had little essence. The human cultivators lived on and above Fifth Heaven with abundant essence, but their cultivation physiques were born inferior to that of the dragon cultivators.
The low-leveled dragon cultivators couldn’t break into Fifth Heaven and above due to their different auras, which were results of their different cultivation method. Thus, they could attract the attention of the human cultivators and might even be killed.
That was why many young dragon cultivators didn’t know about the secrets above Fifth Heaven.
However, Hao Ren cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which emitted the aura of all five-elements, compared with the dragon cultivators who mostly cultivated only one or two elements. That was why no one would suspect him of being a dragon cultivator when he was on Fifth Heaven.
With the dragon core helping him absorb the abundant essence at a high speed when he cultivated in Fifth Heaven, Hao Ren completely changed the unique steady and slow progress of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Hua… One hundred sixty sword energies suddenly shot out from Hao Ren’s back.
The valley was vast, dozens of times bigger than the training valley Elder Sun’s martial arts dojo provided. In here, the power of the Two Dragons Array Formation was even higher!
The sword energies were divided into two groups, one up and one down, attacking from both sides!
The sword array formation covered half of the valley while each of the sword energies grew to about two meters. If a team of hundreds of cultivators broke into the valley right now, Hao Ren could destroy them all!
The five-colored sword energies illuminated the entire valley in the dawn. Afraid of attracting the attention of nearby sects, Hao Ren withdrew the 160 sword energies after a quick practice.
The sword energies flew back swiftly, each shrinking into the size of a thumb before entering Hao Ren’s body.
After consuming the ‘leftover’ nature essence, Hao Ren stood at the entrance of the cave abode with the presence of a great hero.
If Zhao Jiayi and his other buddies saw Hao Ren practice, they would have been shocked out of their wits. He was no longer the ordinary and harmless Hao Ren they knew; he was a sword god!
“Hehe, Gongzi will master this godly technique. It will be very powerful,” hiding behind a hill in the distance, Lu Lili said to Lu Linlin.
“Even so, Gongzi still won’t be interested in you.” Lu Linlin reached out and pinched Lu Lili’s nose.
“Sister!” Lu Lili yelled out displeasingly.
“Haha…” Lu Linlin smiled cheerfully and flew into the distance.
Lu Lili stomped her foot and chased Lu Linlin with the traveling speed of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Oblivious of the fact that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had been guarding him during the night, Hao Ren patted the snoring Little White at the entrance of the cave. “Let’s go, Little White!”
His earth-shaking practice of the sword array formations didn’t even wake up this beast, proving that Little White was not a reliable guardian.
It was fortunate that there was nothing important in the valley, and all it needed to guard was the entrance of the cave.
Little White woke up and licked the saliva on its paws before standing up.
“Let’s go back to the land. We’ll get you something good to eat outside of the library,” Hao Ren said.
Little White’s ears pricked up instantly before transforming into a magnificent snow lion.
Releasing bright lights from its golden paws, Little White carried Hao Ren, shooting downward to First Heaven.
The elixir pills were delicious, and so were the snacks the girls gave it.
“Little White, let’s first go to the gate of Zi’s school.” When the East Ocean City came into his sight, Hao Ren put up an energy sphere in the white clouds and gave Little White the instructions.
Wuwu… Little White snorted heavily in response.
Zhao Yanzi was now grounded in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and Hao Ren would visit her tonight. However, before his visit, he planned to find Zhen Congming and asked him for something.
It seemed like Little White had a higher IQ now. Without further instructions from Hao Ren, it automatically landed in the alley they were in last time and shrunk into a palm-sized puppy, trotting alongside Hao Ren.
Elementary students were just arriving at the school.
Standing at the gate, Hao Ren saw his family’s white Ford arriving at the school gate soon, and Zhen Congming got out of it quickly.
“Congming!” At his appearance, several school girls called out to him and ran toward him.
Hao Zhonghua needed to go on to the institute, so he turned the car around and drove through the intersection when the green traffic light was still on.
“Zhen Congming!” Hao Ren walked up and called out.
Zhen Congming was about to disengage himself from the fawning girls, and he turned around and spotted Hao Ren when he heard the call.
At the sight of Zhan Congming, Little White trotted over with a wagging tail.
“Wow! Such a cute puppy! Congming, is it yours?” The elementary school girls had shiny eyes when they saw Little White.
“Of course. It’s my pet, Little White!” Zhen Congming said proudly with his hands on his waist.
“Wow! So cute!” The little girls all squatted and tried to pet Little White.
With its innocent eyes, Little White looked from one girl to another.
“Damned Little White, it’s playing cute again!” Hao Ren walked around Little White and the little girls.
He pulled Zhen Congming to one side and said. “Congming, I need to borrow something from you.”
